Double female enrollment in your STEM Program(s) in one semester

Would you like to accelerate your school's ability to meet grant goals and required outcomes for women in STEM/CTE Programs?

We can provide customized training and coaching for implementation - and an entire Outreach Platform - so your school can focus on teaching and student outreach. During the last few years, Donna Milgram has customized WomenTech Trainings to fit one career pathway, and to target grant goals and deliverables.

As an added bonus, these strategies work equally well to increase male enrollment and retention.

Donna Milgram has been the Principal Investigator of 

5 National Science Foundation grants. She has worked intensively with schools - boots on the ground - to develop the strategies and system that help educators enroll up to 25 -50% female students in STEM/CTE classes.

After 30+ years of service in the field, she has "cracked the code" and helps schools achieve results in a year or less. 

Donna knows busy educators don't have time to figure this out all by themselves. 

Donna's NSF-funded CalWomenTech Project was highlighted by NSF for demonstrating significant achievement and program effectiveness and chosen as 1 of 3 model projects by the American Association of University Women. 

"The WomenTech Educators Training was very eye-opening and it provided a vehicle and framework to focus our efforts. It gets you to think about what it takes to be successful. The most valuable aspect of the training was building our team! Initially we focused on BioTech Manufacturing, but we've now translated the training to our other Manufacturing programs."

Dr. John Henshaw, Dean of Workforce Development, Mount Wachusett Community College, MA

Female enrollment went from only 1 female student to 9 out of 13 the next semester. Retention of both female and male students went from 50% to 100%.

"“The WomenTech Makerspace Training brought our team together and was expertly facilitated.  It led us through the process of capturing our busy faculty's ideas, and collected them in a very effective way. 

Now we have an action plan for a short timeframe, so we can be ready for students the next semester."

Maura Devlin-Clancy, MakerSPHERE Coordinator, City College of San Francisco, CA

CCSF achieved 50% female participation in the new Makerspace 101 course in 3 months.

“In the WomenTech Training, Donna Milgram explained why so few females enter the IT fields and what we can do to  attract them and this fundamentally changed the way we both approach females when  discussing career opportunities in IT and how we teach female students already enrolled." 

Carlos Bodden, Department Chair,  Networking Technology, Fayetteville Technical Community College, NC

FTCC went from 12 to 22 females in the introductory courses in Cybersecurity in   5 months, male enrollment also increased from 58 to 101 men.
